Confidence
A field recording this site's judgement of how well the evidence supports a given record, at one of three levels: high, medium or low. Anything resting on a fact added from outside a captured source, rather than taken directly from one, enters at low confidence. Confidence is a judgement about the evidence, not a claim about whether the underlying fact is true.
